that his life would be spared If he would
renounce his new religion. He said he
would not, and one of his hands was
hacked off and thrown into the flames
before his eyes. He was again asked If he
would recant, and again he refused. One
of his legs was then cut of and thrown
into the fire. Feebly the poor sufferer
spoke the words: "1 will die Chris
tian," and the flames soon ended his
agony.
Were such heroism and fortltude ever
surpassed among the most enlightened
nationsf And yet these poor people,
three years before their frightful end,
were as savage as the men who killed
them. Their courageous deaths have
proved that the Waganda are superior

developed the best and sternest moral
qualities.
At first the converts who were still at
liberty would not give up their religious
gatherings. They would stealthily gather
at dead Of night in some chosen rendez.
vous. But soon the storm of persecution
began to rage with such violence that
those who were still unscathed knew that
they must flee or take their turn at the
stake. In parties of two or three they
stole out of Rubaga and scattered through
the great woods to hide from their cruel
ruler and live as best they could on the
game they might kill and the fruits of the
forest. !, A cablegram from London two
weeks ago said the native Christians OF
Uganda were still in hiding.
Day by day as the massacres went on
the three English and two French mis-.
sionaries at Rubaga expected to be put
to death. The King would not see the
Englishmen at all, and the French priests
were rarely admitted to his presence.
After the murders had ceased, however,
for want of more native Christians to
kill the King decided to let several Of the
missionaries leave his country. They
had been for many months practically
prisoners in Rubaga. The chiefs urged
the King to kill them, but he said that
all but two OF them might 60. Mr..

Poisons have their times and seasons
like everything else. Belladonna was the
rage for a few years among weak women.
Then came morphine, and now there is
an attempt to popularize arsenic.
If you read the New York papers, you
will see that an audacious person calling
himself doctor is spreading himself
and his iniquitous nostrum over whole
columns. I never saw anything like it
for boldness in the history of quackery.
This parsonage virtually says to mil
lions of weak-minded women there is no
reason in the world why you should not
be beautiful. Arsenic will do the trick
and can sell you arsenic that is not
poison. I've taken the poison out, but
preserved the magical principle.
Ihave met in my time a number of
women addicted to the arsenic habit.
They took what Is known as Fowler's
solution regularly. One of them is at
this moment the well-known leader of a
fashionable set in New York. She, like
most of the others, set out with the idea
of improving her complexion, and now
she is slave to Fowler.
Now, this is the curious part of it. She
had the name of brilliant complexion
among women, but not among men. For
my own part think there is sdgges-
ton Of what Carlyle calls "The heralds
of the pale repose" in her face.

confess the brilliancy gave me shud-
